This is the kind of response we want. Not cowards. Not bullies with badges. Service members who actually SERVE the public.
Remember Uvalde
A rare breed indeed.
Those rangers are way better than Uvalde cops.
Absolutely!
Pretty low bar.

Park rangers and fire fighters...best practices practitioners
Park rangers are people who get into their careers out of a love for life and a passion for nature. It is often back-breaking work which does not pay particularly well most of the time.
The police force is a career which attracts an entirely different kind of person and I don't mean that in a good way.
Park rangers do not get the credit they deserve, serving in multiple ways, protecting people, maintaining order, educating the public, and supporting environmental preservation all at the same time.
All without bringing out riot gear for when visitors often go out of line. They do it with integrity and professional
Kinda the same for most jobs. I farm.
What are best practices?

Well done to the woman who managed to get away to warn people too!
I would love to hear her story and how she did it.
Indeed. I hope she's somewhere she feels safe and secure, with people who care for her, while she recovers from the ordeal.
Thanks for calling attention to our heroes, who do their job every day to keep us safe.
@@nbroyles9158 : Yeps! A whole lot of heroes go unsung every day. I think that's in part because a hero is just someone who cares that much, and they feel no desire to set themselves above any other. Most of the very good and brave people I've met in my life, are also quite humble. ❤🌍🌎🌏🌐
if he was wanting a "suicide by cop" scenario he might have intentionally let her go knowing she would warn them.
Park Rangers seem to be the people who want to be in law enforcement but also want to actually serve the public. I say this as a National Park geek who goes to dozens of sites every year. Nothing but respect for them.
Agreed. ✌🏼💙✊🏼
I live next to a national wildlife refuge (for bald eagle nesting) and I've called the local park rangers frequently. Once, it was because a doe broke her leg jumping onto my property, had her triplets, and then wasted away.... I called them, and they told me that due to overpopulation it was illegal to try to rehab the mom and save the babies, but when they realized that I was asking someone to come out to dispatch mom, they sent someone, and that person was a bit disdainful until he saw the mom, and I was able to witness a truly beautiful thing. It was about 2 months since mom broke her leg, she was skin and bones, but still trying hard to live.... and the ranger calmed her, and then tried to dispatch her, but she was a fighter, so he soothed her and then put her down.
Another time I called them because our cats had victimized a bat... .an endangered speices, so their bat expert came out, on her personal time, and together we superglued the bat wings into viability and watched it fly away into the dusk. Another time I called them, a juvenile owl had hopped into our hay barn, and they sent a wildlife rehab expert to take it away. Another time we had a deer showing signs of a wasting disease and they were out here within 15 minutes. When a bear came and hugged my stepdaughter's van to death, they were here for that too.
I'll be honest, we certainly aren't Rangers because of the pay...

Remember when it was park rangers who defied the Trump administration order to be silent about climate change issues? They went rogue and took it to social media. Park rangers are bad ass! 🤘

Well trained and motivated is not the same as loyal to Trump.....🤨

Who would have thought that a shining example of law enforcement would be park rangers. Bravo!
Park rangers are top notch.

@@foxbat00 Backhanded compliment...
I feel the same way about the Capitol Police, too. Unsung heroes on so many levels!
Hey, it was the USPS police that arrested Steve Bannon on his Chinese billionaire sugar daddy’s mega-yacht.
“To include the one that was hit”
Getting hit and returning fire anyways,doesn’t get much more badass than that
That's why I included it. "Staying in the fight" is a rare trait.
@@BeauoftheFifthColumn while it is brave and all that. Depending on where they were hit it could be a fatal trait. Depending on the situation such as if there were other rangers there who could handle the threat, he should seek cover and aid.
That is this dirt bag medic opinion.
@@BeauoftheFifthColumndo you know if this ranger is ok? Recovering? I want the very best outcome for them. Hope all the rangers are getting trauma debriefing and support.
@@DubhghlasMacDubhghlasIn abstract, you are absolutely correct.
However, given the circumstances and the context, I would default to the ranger in question knowing under which circumstances they should retreat to receive aid and when they were needed to remain in the fight, and then applying the appropriate actions.
They followed best practices up to that point; I would assume that they continued to follow best practices until the resolution of the situation.
@@shelleythistleton4935 According to an article I read, the ranger is okay. ☺️

Hats off to the Yellowstone Park Rangers. Their diligence is totally worthy of respect.
Chicks dig scars.
Way to go Squirrel cops.
One person died as opposed to several hundred. I’m so glad the National Park Service wasn’t complacent! I’m also really happy that the woman was taken seriously. Great job, Everyone!

Great job Park Rangers! I don’t know if they’re trained for this or not but either way that’s a great job, very disciplined and brave
Trained at Quantico from what I heard.. the policing division, not all Rangers.
Yeah the National Park Rangers are trained at a Fed training ground, like the other guy said, probably Quantico. As a municipal Park Ranger we get trained by our local PD through a basic law enforcement academy. Anywho, yes LE Park Rangers do get trained for active threat situations.
They need to be prepared to deal with poachers, not just stupid tourists.
@@ggjohnson5754 That's right. Maybe not as extensive as FBI or Secret Service but the armed rangers are well trained.
@ggjohnson5754 They're not trained at Quantico. The NPS operates 7 academies to train their own police. The actual police could learn a lot from the NPS.
Park rangers showing up the cops! Good job rangers!
NOS has its own police force at the big places. With that much time, Statirs had to have been there as well as FBI consult. NPS LE likely took point. Had to have been the big hotel IN the park.
They are actual law enforcement. But for obvious reasons the same kind if toxic culture doesn't tend to develop with them like it does with city cops.
It's not a competition. Some officers do the job and others don't. There is no room for celebration here.
@@CephalicMiasma4 not just city slickers, plenty out in the counties too.

Good to hear law enforcement works better at national parks than it does in Texas grade-schools.
Go Team.

Agree
It's sad that police aren't at the level of the park rangers.
And to think the GOP wants to defund them.
Those park rangers really need to be lauded as American heroes.
Congressional Gold Medals.
From my experience, Park Rangers are generally better at serving & protecting than most state, county, and local authorities. They seem to fend for their parks with the tenacity of the old man next door who really wants you to stay of his lawn. It's so good to hear 'best practices' were relentless and effective in this scary story.
To Park Rangers "protect and serve" is a job description, to the police it's just a slogan that sounds good but actually means nothing....🤬
@MKR5210 depends
Protect the Park from the People
Protect the People from the Park
Protect the People from the People
That's the first thing taught at the academy.
@@kennethboehnen271yeah, depends on the shade of your skin. ACAB
@@MKR5210Every time I see that slogan on a police car I think of false advertising.
I’m happy they believed her. These days it’s 50/50 if an officer of the law will take a woman seriously.
The olden days weren't any better. Worse, if anything.
EVERY day, you mean.
Next time someone asks, "Who's gonna protect us if we defund the police?", my answer is going to be, "The National Park Service."
OMG! My wife and I were there all day! This would have happened right before we entered the park. We, and I would thankfully imagine most, had no clue. Thankful for the diligence and courage of the Park Rangers! ❤🤟
I was working up at Mammoth the same day -- didn't know a thing about it until my friends and family started sending me links to news stories >_>
Speaking from personal experience, it's a weird feeling to find out that you've narrowly avoided being present at a scene like that and not know about it until hours or days later.
My fellow LE Yellowstone Park Rangers did a great job, this is a shout out from an LE Park Ranger in VA. The lady was also very brave, I'm sorry she had to go through that ordeal. I agree with Beau: Stick to your training or in LE terms, "Complacency kills". Any Park Rangers in the chat will get this, "Send a Ranger." Love your work Beau and calling things like you see it.
Park rangers are the best. They are educators, naturalists, history buffs, rescuers, and law enforcement all in one. They are smarter and more well- rounded than typical law enforcement.
Professionalism at its best. I shudder to think what the National Park Service could become with Trump lackeys in charge.
Yikes!!!!
💙🩵🍀🐦⬛🦋
Is there anything of value in the ground? Doubt any National Park would survive, not much profit to be made 🤨
Since Raygun's SecInterior, James Watt, (R)s have wanted to privatize/sell off all our Public Lands and Parks/Monuments.
There won't be any Nat'l Parks if tdfg gets in.
Farmed out to Allied Security likely
I'm so thankful they stopped this from happening!
Thank you to the woman who acted so bravely and the US National Park Rangers who followed through and bravely did their job to protect us all.
Not just best practices, but courage under fire, courage under direct threat. Bless these rangers!
I hadn't heard a word about this event. I used to be a park ranger. Take my word for it when they are on duty, they are professional.
Thank you National Park Rangers.
But, but, but the 2A rights of that gunman supersede the rights of the diners and Park Rangers to life, right? Respect to the Park Rangers!
According to SCOTUS, yes 2nd amendment rights are more important than the lives of 200 diners & Park Rangers. Don’t agree with it. But that’s the law of the land.
@@tringuyen7519fuck the law of the land in this case. The dinners and their lives are more important than a killer.
@@tringuyen7519 For many, their 2A rights supercedes others' 1As.
@@KOZMOuvBORG For many who tout their 2A rights, it is obvious that they love their guns more than God, their country, or even their families.
The 2A affords the right to own a firearm.
It does not allow a person to violate the rights of others.
God bless those who run to the sound of gunfire.
To all the sons and daughters who
survived give your thanks to those people.
Our Park Rangers (federal workers!) do not get enough credit or praise for the job they do. They are just quiet professionals doing the right thing day in and day out with little fanfare. Thank you to all the park rangers out there!
These events where training was implemented highlight the outrageous cowardice that happened at Uvalde.
Glad that the situation turned out as well as it did. Saddened that we have so many weapons available to the mentally unbalanced that we hear about situations like this that DON’T end up as well.
Best practices. Good phrase.
Federal Park Rangers are trained by Federal agencies.. The officers are equal to SWAT or DSS in more ways than you know. Their understanding of situational needs and actions are top notch. Happily not surprised after just hearing the details. Good on them.
In my experience the same is also true of state rangers.
So glad the Park Rangers stayed vigilant. I was grieving our constitution too much to go out in public.
I will indefinitely be grieving our Constitution, which is now nothing but a museum piece full of humane, sane, just and beautiful ideas.
"You don't rise to the level of your expectations. You sink to the level of your training"
It was one of the best lessons i ever learned.
Glad the park rangers trained hard.
They definitely train hard. NPS LEO's go through much more thorough training than regular park rangers. The NPS runs 7 academies for training their LEO's. If they trained the police, it would greatly improve the quality of law enforcement in our country.
@@CricketsBay sounds like a solid training program.
I have always said that a federal training center for police would solve a lot of issues.
But I also think that before you can run for office you should be able to pass the same tests used for immigrants. A little refresher on civics could help a lot of politicians
Wonderful to hear a successful response. Thanks to all those brave rangers!!!
Way to go Ranger Smith Yogi's proud of you.
Beau, great job by those rangers, and KUDOS for the woman getting away and reporting it. I hope she's ok. Plus the injured ranger. Thankyou for truth without speculation,!👍🏼🌊💙💙💙🌊🥰✌🏽
THANK YOU to the Yellowstone Rangers who stayed with it and saw it through. We owe them a great debt. Thank you for reporting the important stuff, Beau. 💜🎯
Glad to hear they took their job seriously and did the right thing. Good on them and the lady that reported it, despite being traumatized.
Salute to our park rangers ❤
good job rangers. Show the polic e how it should be done
I'm glad the threat has been removed.
I will be interested in hearing whether they ever determine the motive for the threat.
The park rangers deserve commendations. There's a very good reason the word "best" is there.
I have work with NPS doing wildland fire (including Yellowstone) and all of the rangers I worked were true professionals who do a wide range of public services from policing to EMS response, SAR, and wildlife interventions.
I worked in Wyoming at a store and was putting money away in the safe. I forgot to turn off the alarm. A whole team of officers showed up pointing guns at me. I explained what happened to them. Law enforcement there is serious.
Vigilance and due diligence often pay off.
Thank you to both the very brave woman and the Park Rangers who listened and did not give up the search! I have no doubt that many lives were saved because of them! Best get well wishes to the rangers that were hurt!
I remember a time that I wouldn’t have heard this as good news. Says a lot about the state of the nation that I do.
THANK YOU... PARK RANGERS !! thank you for your training
thank you for remembering it and
thank you for protecting the people ... WELL DONE EVERYONE . WELL DONE 🙏
This is actually the first I've heard of this incident despite the fact that I recently moved out west and am much closer to Yellowstone than I was before. I'm taking it as a reminder that staying vigilant requires a lot of digging through the weapons of mass-distraction deployed in the online media space.
Edit: After a cursory online search, apparently another person was arrested on Monday of this week for making similar threats in the same area and was employed by the same company as the perp.
The National Park Service demonstrates over and over again that they are currently the closest thing we have to the United Federation of Planets
Let’s see how the news rolls over this one…and avoids this news cycle…
I knew of it days ago. Where do you get your news?
It's been a week already and in the news too.
Likely depends largely on what they find out about the motive. And what the "motivations" of those who discover the motive, are. They so far seem to be people who take their jobs seriously.
But we'll see. If they say nothing, that says a lot about them.
It's actually real uncomplicated t understand, but then again, I know the guy's family. They married into mine
What do you want the news to say? America is full of wacked out religious / political / racial extremists who want to shoot people over their worldviews? 😂
Every DoI LEO I have ever worked with has been the paragon of professionalism and are some of the best trained we have.
Same. They give off a totally different vibe than any sheriff's deputy or municipal police officer I've meet. Friendly, more approachable.
Agree! ✌🏼💙✊🏼
Thanks for this, Beau. One other best practice they followed that I’d like to add to your list was they engaged the assailant directly, and kept pressing. There are people in Uvalde, Texas who can tell what happens when that best practice isn’t followed.
😢
Congratulations to those rangers. Absolutely fantastic job, and it is appreciated.
These rangers are heros.
We really, as a populace, have to support our institutions. They're all there for a reason, which is to protect the people. There's always gonna be bad apples, just keep plucking them and setting them aside, just as we have been. The advent of cameras on smartphones really helps with that, where the populace can help police the police, but just remember, they are the police at the end of the day, and they're far more trained in the use of deadly force than nearly anyone, some military excluded.
Brave woman🩵🩵🍭🍬
I certainly wish there was a way and a will to report averted disaster as powerful as there is to report disaster. Thank you.
These people are out there. Forewarned is forearmed. Bless the rangers❤
Let's hear it for the rangers of the National Park Service! Thank goodness.
I spent a significant number of years teaching EPA, NRC, and OSHA regulations for a national power producer. Following best practices is so vital. Lives are lost when they aren't.
What happens is a guy who's been taking shortcuts for 5 years thinks the regulations are BS - nothing ever happens when you don't - then his number comes up and it's too late. Several photos show what happens to a person struck by high voltage. There's an entrance wound and an exit wound (much worse) very much like a gunshot but with burns throughout. It's horrific.
I pray I stopped some disasters. Human nature is not good at appreciating the one in one hundred odds. Be safe everyone.
Smokey the Common Sense Bears. Be there in November. And forever...
I have heard many good things about park rangers. They are calm yet serious minded and get the job done. This one very very well done, thank you!!
Excellent news and coverage.
That could have been disastrous.
Latest news is that it was the employee dining room and all the people inside would have been employees of the main (not NPS) concessionaire. I was an employee dining room cook in Yellowstone for many seasons-yikes! Major respect for and thanks to everyone involved.
Thank you for this update. Trying to get accurate information about it has been like a bad game of telephone. Nobody has really reported on it either.
I've been watching Montana local news. Take Care ✌🏼💙✊🏼
This does not surprise me at all. The Park Service is a special organization, I did 7 seasons myself. There was generally a strong cooperative spirit at all the parks I worked at. Park Service people, in all divisions, from Law Enforcement to Interp to Maintenance all know that people look to us, regardless of our official role, when there is trouble. As my father, who was Fish and Wildlife which has a similar mindset, said, "All they see is the patch (on our uniforms), they don't know I'm just the maintenance man". For almost everyone I worked within my time there this meant you stepped up and you did what you could when there was a situation, because help was often a long way away, and all we had was our own staff, scattered across the park.
We all trained on first aid, we all trained on crowd management, if nothing else we could lock down buildings or move people to safety, even if we were only the person running the visitor center or the ticket booth. There is a little bit in almost every park service job description, "Other duties as assigned", that's what it means, stepping up to do what you need to when the situation demands. Visitors to parks are very often out of their element, its kind of the point of parks, and it was the staff's job to keep them safe. Sometimes that's just doing the little things, reminding people to stay hydrated and seek shade, stick to the marked trails, informing them about environmental or wildlife related hazards, others times its this.
Those lives were saved because they believed a women who was attacked. Think of how many more lives could have been saved throughout history if authorities believed women more often.
We always talk about “when good people do nothing “… and rarely “when good people take prudent actions.” This is when good people did the later. Bravo!
At least they took the threat seriously and did their job tirelessly and stopped the threat.
Thank goodness she was able to escape and set in motion this preventive chain reaction!
Amazing! Men listening to a woman. God Bless the Rangers for bravery and concern for others.
A lot of the USPS Rangers ARE women.
USDI/NPS are even-tempered & revere the Parks and Monuments.
This happened at Canyon Village, where I worked as a seasonal interpretive ranger in 2001 and 2004-6. I’ve eaten in that dining facility many times. So this really hits home. My flat hat is off to those brave rangers, and I wish a speedy recovery to the one who was shot. Heartfelt thanks to all NPS LEOs who work every day to keep us parkaholics safe!
So glad threat was taken serious and followed up on with best practices intensity. Avoided disaster. Thank you Rangers.

They need to let the public know why these things happen.

Montanan here, they handled the News Media well too.
Nice job Rangers. And a hopefully speedy and full recovery to the Ranger who was wounded.
Best Practices...common sense, logic, and reasoning in the presence of danger. This should be the standard for every law enforcement officer!
Certainly a teachable moment for SO many law enforcement agencies out there. Looking at you Uvalde.
I expect there's a lot more emphasis on safety in park ranger training compared to cop.
I expect there's just MORE training full stop. Ave 21 weeks for Police..... Comparable with 3 years in Europe....🤨
Thank you team beau. Thank you to the woman informant and the Park Rangers, well done.
Thank you Beau
Thank you for reporting this ...
Beau 's point that so many opportunities to *not* follow best practices at any point by any one Ranger is sobering. I salute you Rangers - Thank you !
